Places to see in ( Vieste - Italy ) • Like a young belle who’s beautiful without even realising it, the town of Vieste clings modestly to a spectacular promontory on the Gargano Promontory. It resembles nothing so much as a cross between Naples and Dubrovnik, with a bit of Puglian magic mixed in. The narrow alleys of the old town, draped with lines of drying clothes and patrolled by slinking cats and the odd friendly dog, are an atmospheric place, day or night, high or off-season. Wedged up against the old town is the equally unpretentious new town, ghostly in winter, but packed with holidaying humanity in summer, especially during the passeggiata (evening stroll). • Vieste is strategically placed atop the steep Pizzomunno cliffs between two sweeping sandy beaches. The gritty harbour offers water sports, while the surrounding Parco Nazionale del Gargano is perfect for cycling and hiking. All things considered, it's one of the south’s most complete all-in-one destinations. • Vieste is the easternmost town on the Gargano promontory, situated in the National Park, halfway between Peschici and the wonderful coastline of Mattinata. Vieste has a historic medieval centre, a charming maze of ancient houses and narrow alleyways studded with typical souvenir shops and craft shops. After you've explored this ancient district, visit the Castle and the Cathedral, and then stroll down to Piazzetta Petrone, a small square with a remarkable coastal view. • • The Pearl of Gargano charms with its silvery pink sand, limpid, crystal clear waters, long beaches, cliffs and 26 sea caves. The sea also stars at the Malacological Museum, which has more than 15 thousand shells from all over the world. • • The coastline, a continuous series of inlets and coves, features must-see beaches at Vignanotica, Castello, San Lorenzo, the Bay of San Felice (with an “architello”, a natural stone archway over the sea), and Punta Lunga. After an afternoon on the beach, the smell of the sea also hangs over dinner at the trabucchi, traditional fishing huts, housing charming restaurants over the Adriatic. • The Pearl of Gargano's historic medieval centre awaits to be explored. A characteristic fretwork of narrow alleys, steep stairways and thin stone arches, it's dominated by Fredrick II’s Castello Svevo (Swabian Castle). This fortress, built over Angevin ruins high on the hill, watches over Vieste with its imposing dark brown silhouette. Also guarding the city is the Cattedrale dell’Assunta (Cathedral of the Assumption), a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture. From here, you can set out to discover the town, from Piazza Garibaldi to Piazza Kennedy, all the way down to the marina and over to the Oriental side of Vieste. Here, the area around Via Tripoli looks a little bit like Greece. • ( Vieste - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Vieste .
